Red Hat/Netscape/Firefox
Through negotiations with August Schell Enterprises, DISA has established a DoD-wide enterprise site license whereby DISA can provide ongoing support and maintenance for the Red Hat Security Solution server products that are at the core of the Department of Defense’s Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). The Red Hat Security Solution includes the following products: Red Hat Certificate System and dependencies; Red Hat Directory Server; Enterprise Web Server (previously Netscape Enterprise Server); and Red Hat Fortitude Server (replacing Enterprise Server). August Schell also provides a download site that, in addition to the Red Hat products, also allows for downloading DISA-approved versions of the following browser products: Firefox Browser; Netscape Browser; Netscape Communicator; and Personal Security Manager. The Red Hat products and services provided through the download site are for exclusive use in the following licensed community: (1) All components of the U.S. Department of Defense and supported organizations that utilize the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System, and (2) All non-DoD employees (e.g., contractors, volunteers, allies) on-site at the U.S. Department of Defense and those not on-site but using equipment furnished by the U.S. Department of Defense (GFE) in support of initiatives which are funded by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Licensed software products available through the August Schell contract are for the commercial versions of the Red Hat software, not the segmented versions of the previous Netscape products that are compliant with Global Information Grid (GIG) standards. The segmented versions of the software are required for development and operation of applications associated with the GIG, the Global Command and Control System (GCCS) or the Global Combat Support System (GCSS).

If your intent is to use a Red Hat product to support development or operation of an application associated with the GIG, GCCS or GCSS, you must contact one of the websites listed below to obtain the GIG segmented version of the software. You may not use the commercial version available from the August Schell Red Hat download site.

If you are not sure which version (commercial or segmented) to use, we strongly encourage you to refer to the websites listed below for additional information to help you to make this determination before you obtain the software from the August Schell Red Hat download site (or contact the project manager).

Department of the Navy Agreements

Oracle (DEAL-O) Database Enterprise License for the Navy

On Oct. 1, 2004 and May 6, 2005, the Navy established the Oracle Database Enterprise License, effective through Nov. 1, 2013. The enterprise license provides Navy shore-based and afloat users, to include active duty, Reserve and civilian billets, as well as contractors who access Navy systems, the right to use Oracle databases for the purpose of supporting Navy internal operations. Navy users in joint commands or supporting joint functions should contact Dan McMullan, NAVICP Mechanicsburg contracting officer, at (717) 605-5659 or email Dan McMullan, for further review of the requirements and coverage.

This license is managed by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWARSYSCEN) Pacific. The Navy Oracle Database Enterprise License provides significant benefits, including substantial cost avoidance for the department. It facilitates the goal of net-centric operations by allowing authorized users to access Oracle databases for Navy internal operations and permits sharing of authoritative data across the Navy enterprise.

Programs and activities covered by this license agreement shall not enter into separate Oracle database licenses outside this central agreement whenever Oracle is selected as the database. This prohibition includes software and software maintenance that is acquired:

a. as part of a system or system upgrade, including Application Specific Full Use (ASFU) licenses;
b. under a service contract;
c. under a contract or agreement administered by another agency, such as an interagency agreement;
d. under a Federal Supply Service (FSS) Schedule contract or blanket purchase agreement established in accordance with FAR 8.404(b)(4); or
e. by a contractor that is authorized to order from a Government supply source pursuant to FAR 51.101.

For your convenience all enterprise contract information is consolidated under ww.esi.mil.
